Chapter 171: Planning Retribution on the Strange New House’s Rafter (5)_1
Aunt Cai was stunned for a moment, "They would drive it away, of course. No matter how much meat a family has, it doesn’t make sense to let a dog steal it every day."
Mo Yan continued to press, "Then would you scare the stray dog away with a stick, or would you beat it to teach it a lesson, so it remembers never to come back and steal meat again?"
At this point, Aunt Cai clearly understood Mo Yan’s intent. People like Wang Dali were envious of the Mo Family having silver and shamelessly came to demand compensation as if they were the wild dogs eyeing the meat.
He opened his mouth to demand five hundred pieces of silver, wasn’t that just pure greed? Such people needed to be taught a severe lesson once; otherwise, if he succeeded this time, he would stick to them like a mangy dog in the future, bringing endless trouble.
Having thought this through, a relieved smile appeared on Aunt Cai’s face, "Little boss, I misjudged you. Someone like Wang Dali deserves a lesson to remember."
A smile also appeared on Mo Yan’s face; she appreciated Aunt Cai and there might be a need for her assistance in the future. She did not want this incident to leave Aunt Cai with any grudges and affect their future interactions.
All this time, Lin Yong had refrained from giving his opinion, his gaze toward Mo Yan filled with satisfaction. He had always worried that Mo Yan was too kind, which might make it easy for malicious people to take advantage of her. He feared that her kindness would bring her harm, but now, it seemed he had been mistaken.
Once Mo Qingze returned, Mo Yan recounted the earlier incident in detail and explained the intention behind setting the trap for Wang Dali and the others.
Mo Qingze was silent for a moment, glanced over the few pages of paper, and finally let out a sigh, "It’s not good for a young lady to go to the Government Office; stay at home in peace, and leave this matter to your father to handle."
